Most English speaking German spies did not know American sports and players.....
I do not have an answer but a story about my uncle, who was a German squad leader during "Operation Greif":
Since his squad consisted of 50% American born Germans, asking about sports would work on only half of his men.
However, his squad blew it's cover because of this:
His 4-men squad drove around in only one captured Jeep.
Why is this suspicious?
Reason: The US Army manned it's Jeeps with max. three men. Four would have used two Jeeps with the second one as backup and because they had sufficient supplies.
Germans at that stage of the war were suffering of severe gasoline shortages so they usually used as few vehicles as necessary to do the job.
My uncle survived the war as POW but some of his comrades were executed after capture by American GI's.
